How to disable a button on visualforce page

I wanted to disable edit button once the status of case is closed. Is it possible to disable a button in visualforce? How can it be achieved?

Hi Chaitra,
Use the below line of code in your vf page:

<apex:commandButton value="Submit" disabled="{!hidebutton}"/>  

In your Apex class make a Boolean variable named "hide" that will initially be false inside the constructor.
As per your condition, you can make your button disabled or undisabled by simply turning Boolean variable hide value
to true or false.

In Apex:
public Boolean hidebutton{get;set;}

Also, go through the links below for more information:
